White elephant gift 2 - what did ya get?

Kingstaken · January 13, 2007, 03:43:00 PM

I just opened the box from MQQSE.
Someone earlier had said that it's funny how a Trad person knows just what the other Trad person needs. Well Chris was on the money.
He sent me a beautiful money clip of a Buck grazing, a set of piggy backs which since I was going to buy for the bunny hunt next month and a shooting glove with reinforced tips.
I just received a new/used HH Halfbreed longbow in the mail at the same time of this delivery today. Timing was on the money. I know once I tried to pull this bow back (80#) I would need to get a new glove that has reinforced tips, well I have it now.
Chris thanks a alot.

I got a goodie box today! Judos, Phantoms, hand warmers, string wax, a custom arm guard & string tender, a 'wearable' broadhead that will go on my hunting hat, some of that wonderful tape for fletching arrows . . . I sat in the parking lot of the post office for a long time looking through that box and being amazed at 'the gang.'

Thanks, Jim, and thanks to all that participated in this. It has been an awesome experience.

I'll be using those judo's when we do the bunny hunt in a few weeks if we can find any . . .

Steve,
You are most welcome and as I said in the email to you:
That all of us here would like to thank you for this great thread you created where we were able to share soemthing with people who share the same passion for a sport.
God Bless you and your Family this New Year.

Jim

P.S.
Can't wait till next year as I won't have to buy myself something for under the tree, I'll wait for the White Elephant to arrive because it will know what I want.

I know some of the guys who clued me in said they were making their gifts . . . and it might take a while to find an appropriate elephant, stalk & shoot him, tan the hide, and make it into an arm guard.

Or imagine the task of finding snakes in the winter for backing material . .

Or how long do you have to look before you find a roadkill turkey so you can grab some feathers?

I'm trusting tradgangers to follow through on this and I've only had my heart broken once by a fellow trad ganger! Not bad for all the swaps made here.

Would you believe - i finally mailed Rick Cunningham's off yesterday - as I said on the other thread, I had a heck of a time getting that White Elephant crammed through the mail slot - Whew! (I hope he likes it.)

Voodofire1 sent me 6 hunting video's, the funny thing is I did not have one of the ones he sent. Looks like I am going to have to get some pop corn and a liter of Vernors

Just opened a package from Arrowslinger and there were a dozen shafts I think are POC, 6 cane shafts, some fletching and glue, a turkey decoy and a hat with a built in light.

I got a real nice little package from "Two Hats" on Saturday. Thank you very much. The shirt is a "little" to big for me, but I will make something out of it...
